Water levels downstream of the Erewash Canal along the Trent lock pound have not recovered and are at a lower level. The navigation closure is extended between Green Lock 68 and Trent Lock 60.

The temporary repair to the gate paddle is now complete. However, water levels remain low between Greens Lock 68 and Dockholme Lock 62. The navigation is therefore currently closed. We are working to restore waters as quickly as possible and will update this notice by Monday 12th May or sooner if we have more information.

The repair to the gate collar is complete. However, we have had to remove a broken gate paddle from the lock during the repair works. We hope to return tomorrow with a temporary fix. The lock remains closed until this work is completed. We will update this notice by 4pm tomorrow or sooner if we have more information.
